lis and Duluth mills I'm country buying.
Cases were cited where last year the differ
ence between the Hat and transit rates was
from to s cents and the owners of the
mills claimed that beside crippling the
country mills it would affect the pockets of
the farmers to about that extent. The
officials of the roads were DESTROYS of keep
ing the transit rate and their appearance
before the commissioners was to ask that
no action be taken by that body which
would do away with it. The commission
ers said that they saw nothing in the law
which went against the transit rate, and
for the present it would be continued.
In the afternoon G. M. Palmer. manager
of the Hubbard flour mill at Mankato. and
l.. A. Moor, president of the Jobbers'
union, appeared before the commission on
the same business, Mr. Palmer making a
strong statement in favor of the transit.
He said If the country mills were obliged to
pay local rates they could not compete
with the terminal points, Minneapolis and
Duluth, and one result would be that all
wheat would have to go by the outside
mills to these points for grinding and ship
ment.
In speaking of the fact that the COM
mission has heard nothing from the Mime
apolis miliers on this point, and that none
Of them appeared before the commission
yesterday Commissioner Gibbs said that
the question was different with the Mime
apolis men, as that city was terminal
point. The commissioner said he did not
think that either the state or interstate law
would in any way affect the transit.

MILITIA MEN MUST Pay.

Railroads will Not Give Special
Rates tO the National Guard to
and from Camp..Serious Effects to
the Guard.
The state railroad law broke out In a rev
place yesterday. when Adjt Gen. Seeley
received word from several railroad COM
panies that under the clause prohibiting dis
elimination in rates, they could not give
members of the National guard anything
better than three-cent rate OH tickets TO
and from camp this summer. This an
nouneement was made in answer to in
quiries by the adjutant general if there was
any reason why the usual one-cent a mile
rate would not be allowed between stations
wholly within the state. He took this pre-
caution before issuing the general orders for
the regiments to go into camp, that he
might know how long the camps
could last and how the funds
would have to be divided, so as
not to go over the appropriation. The
Northern Pacific and the Burlington &
Cedar Rapids officials replied that they be-
lieved they could give the one-cent-a-mile
rate and still keep within the law; the of1i-
Gals of other roads thought not. The de-
ciSiOn was not an agreeable one to the adju-
tant general, who said he thought the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington had
looked at the question in the proper light
The decision of the roads that refuse to
grant the one cent rate will be a serious
blow to the militia if it is carried out, said
Gen. Seeley. ut will almost shut out the
regiments from going into camp this year.
The appropriation for the militia is $50, 900,
and this was made Oh the supposition that
the usual rates of transportation to and
from camp would be made. Last
year the cost CT transportation
was $1.44S, and now if we
are obliged to pay three times that amount
it will seriously affect the guard. 1t had
been found that the usual six days of camp
life was not enough. and so change was
ordered to lime or ten days. Under the de-
cision of the railroads, the only thing to
dc, SO far as | see now. will be to cut down
the length Of the camp service and use the
money that would go as per diem of the
men in paying for tickets"
| The adjutant general said he believed it
was an oversight on the part of the trainers
Of the law that a clause was not inserted
making special provision to cover the case
or militia transportation.

the cost.
